      <image:title>Blog - 7 Secrets for a Great Speech</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m watching a video of someone who has purportedly studied great speeches for 30 years and is sharing the 7 secrets of the greatest speakers in history. The video has over 1 million views. He’s pacing like a caged animal. And he's using bad info. He referenced the widely accepted wisdom that words only comprise 7% of a message's impact, while vocal tone accounts for 38%, and body language is responsible for a whopping 55% of a message's impact. One problem: the study from which this information is taken and is most often cited as its source is so oft misrepresented that its author, Dr. Albert Mehrabian, has a disclaimer on his website that these equations only apply to messages regarding what a person likes and dislikes and said as much when he and I communicated on the subject several years ago.  While using this common, yet misguided application of the study, the speaker attempts to make the point that body language is much more important than words in delivering a great speech. Granting him the misuse of the study, I find myself wishing he would apply that idea to his pacing. He also mentioned that bad speakers are so intent on pumping out their information that they miss connecting with the audience. Interestingly, I'm finding him doing that very thing as he’s rifling through references and talking at a pace to match his feet, which haven’t planted for more than 2 seconds. I'm not telling you this to bag on another professional.  No, I'm sharing it because as a truth seeker and truth teller I feel compelled to call this out. I'm disappointed in our worship of what we deem experts, many of whom trot out vapid and worn out information and platitudes with no regard for the integrity of the information (like the 7%, 38%, 55%). I'm tired of our consumer culture which is ever learning and never coming to a knowledge of the truth.  I’m sad that this is held up as an example of a “masterful speech” (that’s what the YouTube description says about it), yet the audience is given inaccurate information and there is dissonance between the information's intent and its application, as in it isn't being applied by the one giving it. I guess what frustrates me most about it is that many people with a REAL message to share, a powerful story, aren't being heard because they aren't as flashy as those who know how to market something mediocre. I'm sad that many who could have a real impact are being drowned out by popular yet unvetted clichés and the self-adulatory bombasticism of others.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 7 Secrets for a Great Speech</image:title>
      <image:caption>Where the speaker is correct is that nothing can hold a candle to authentic passion. So though your feet may never stop moving during a speech, although I hope they will, and your mouth may move at 4,000 words per minute, although I hope they don't, if you focus on the audience and giving them value, from your HEART, you may be on the path to a great speech. Let me share with you, from my own observations, training, and experience (thousands of hours), 7 secrets for a great speech. 1. Focus on the audience Many studies report that public speaking is more feared than death for adults. That's because so often speakers are focused on their own perceived inadequacies, lack of knowledge, lack of speaking ability, or dislike for public speaking. If they would stop focusing on themselves and instead focus on what they know and how to give the audience value, they can relax. It all starts with wanting "to bless, not impress" as Stephen Covey put it.  Study the topic, organize the information simply, and deliver it in your own unique voice. You were asked to give the speech to impart valuable information to the audience, not to hear yourself talk. In other words, you're not there for you, you're there for them. Focus on them. A common misnomer when giving a talk is that you've got to be Jimmy Fallon funny. Indeed, a great speech is entertaining, but not always because the speaker has Tina Fey good looks and wit or this gentleman's down-home charm and humor. Most often it's because the speaker realizes what is most important to the audience and delivers it in a way that makes sense to them, while letting their natural passion shine through. 2. Connect with individuals You've heard the popular advice that to avoid getting nervous when speaking in public you should imagine the audience in their underwear. I'm guessing the thought behind doing so is that it puts the audience in a more human light. Though I understand the supposed intent, it promotes the wrong focus. Rather than reduce the audience, almost denigrate them as it were, why not imagine them as friends, as people who want your speech to go well? As people genuinely interested to hear something on the topic you're about to share. Virtually no one, and certainly no one whose opinion matters, walks into a speech hoping the speaker will be boring or embarrass themselves. Most audiences arrive ready for the speaker to succeed and are willing to give them their attention (the other 6 secrets will allow you to hold that attention). I received some excellent training years ago about connecting with individuals. I used to scan, not even look at, the audience at a pace to rival Usain Bolt's fastest times. I didn't look at people. I just scanned the audience at large. I'm sure that made audience members feel special and helped them connect with the material, just as I am sure a shark bite feels like a feather tickle.  The person coaching me suggested I pretend I'm pouring tea (or lemonade) into a person's cup. Look at that person for the length of time it would take to pour a cup of tea, or to complete a thought. Then move to the next person with your eyes, make eye contact, and fill their cup. Next person and so on (not moving down the row sequentially, but moving to another person in the audience). In this way, you are connecting with individuals, real people, one on one, which is what master teachers and speakers do. You are sharing a piece of you with them. It's the best way to be present in your talk.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Brandon Pipkin - meet brandon Pipkin America’s top Leadership &amp; sales trainer, motivator, and author</image:title>
      <image:caption>As the creator of the H3Leadership &amp; the H3Sales Approach, Brandon has helped thousands of leaders &amp; salespeople perform better by aligning their Head, Heart, and Habits for sustainable success. He’s trained over 3,000 global leaders to focus on their ‘why’ and equipped them to consistently get the best from their teams. Over the last 15 years, he’s helped more than 12,000 salespeople from 400+ global organizations increase sales, build trust, communicate better, and reduce objections with the philosophy of STOP Selling &amp; SELL MORE - focus on being a resource and valuable partner and you’ll ALWAYS outsell the competition. Having delivered over 800 individual training classes, he enjoys a 97% satisfaction rating for his delivery style and value received (who are those other 3%??). As an accomplished social researcher and author committed to helping people reach their potential, his book “21 Questions for 21 Millionaires” explores the surprising truth of how ordinary people create extraordinary success. He’s also learned some unexpected truth about how the world’s best athletes perform by interviewing Olympians, how cancer survivors thrive in extraordinarily difficult situations, and how recovery addicts make one of the hardest transitions in life. He earned his MBA in Healthcare Management and a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership with a specialization in HR and Organizational Development. “That title means I know how to keep people coming back to work without using shock therapy or illegal bribes.” His certifications include FranklinCovey FOCUS, Situational Leadership II, Trusted Advisor Associates (trust-based leadership &amp; selling), RAIN sales, Janek selling, Caliper, &amp; SOCIAL Styles. Brandon’s focus in life is helping others develop to the best version of themselves, tapping their innate potential and helping others do the same as formal and informal leaders. He is also the creator of StopEmotionalAbuse.net, including an abuse recovery program, and sits on the board of Stick2Life, a non-profit dedicated to helping students develop leadership skills, treat each other with kindness and compassion, and become better citizens. Most important of ALL, he is Dad to 5 amazing human beings.</image:caption>
